Church Street train heading for museum

Orlando leaders decided Monday to pay $160,000 to move an iconic steam locomotive from downtown to the Florida Railroad Museum near Bradenton.

The 100-year-old train, coal tender and three passenger cars have been displayed on Church Street for 35 years but must make way for a passenger station for SunRail, the region's new commuter rail system.

The city chose the museum's plan from among five proposals, mostly based on cost. It will be placed on a semi-trailer for transport.

The move could start as soon as this week and may take two weeks to complete.
